Now me (Nadine) :

First, let me say that I really like your «reading» of the prophecy 
Snow. I think you are on to something. I would like to add that on 
her website, JKR says that if «Ginny had died and Tom Riddle would 
have escaped the diary (in CoS), it would have strengthened the 
present day Voldemort considerably.» Why ? Is it because Ginny is 
full of the same «power» Harry is suppose to have plenty off ? Could 
it be love and a little bit of Godric Gryffindor's ?

Your post reminded me also of something Voldemort said in the 
graveyard scene in GoF. He said (The Death Eaters Chapter) : «.. I 
was willing to embrace mortal life again (...) I set my sights 
lower... I would settle for my old body back again and my old 
strength.»
Did he really settle for his old body ? Voldy needed three powerful 
ingredients : (1) Flesh given by a servant; (2) His father's bone 
and (3) The blood of a foe. What bugs me is that Tom Riddle Sr. was 
not a wizard. The Salazar Slytherin's blood that used to flow in 
Voldemort's old body came from his mother and I presume it was 
destroyed in Godric's Hollow. Somehow, the «new» Voldemort seems to 
be walking around minus the old Salazar Slytherin component. Is he 
a «quarter» blood sort of Lord now ? Maybe that is the explanation 
for the look of triumph in DD's eye. There seem to always be a half 
something (or someone) missing somewhere. What part am I missing ?
